Version 0.5 released

We've just released Scenario version 0.5. It was actually available
on Friday last week but by early Monday of this week, download.java.net,
where all of our releases are hosted, was down. It remained that way
until this morning, and since the most recent backup tapes were two
months (!) old, we lost everything. Thankfully, Scenario developer
Igor Kushnirskiy had the foresight to mirror everything on a private
server, and so we're back in business today.
The biggest new feature in this release is the support for hardware
accelerated effects. Chris Campbell has been the driving force behind
this part of the project and you can read about it - and try out the
demo - in his blog here:
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/campbell/archive/2008/02/effectuation_th.html
The rest of Scenario demos can be found here:
https://scenegraph-demos.dev.java.net/demos.html
One other small API addition for this release is the "Settings" API.
Certain demos and benchmarks require tweaking internal settings of
Scenario. Originally this was done using the system property
mechanism, however this caused problems with untrusted apps due to
security restrictions. The Settings API was added as a simple
mechanism for storing key/value pairs in a way accessible to unsigned
applets and JWS apps. For applications running in an environment with
sufficient permissions, system properties are passed through the
Settings API. This allows settings to be specified via the
command-line. Note: at present, Settings is just meant for internal
testing and benchmarking.
The 0.5 release includes a few bug fixes since 0.4.1. They're listed for
product "jfx-player", category "scenario", subcategory "scenegraph" or
"animation" however the bugs aren't visible on bugs.sun.com yet.
We hope to have that straightened out shortly.

and focus gained events
